OK, make a believer out of me, I am a RR customer with the basic service. Give me a list of web sites that only the RR extreme service can access and I can't.

And don't give me BS that the list is secret or confidential. If this were true I think RR subscribers (just to name one group) who would be screaming their heads off.

But not one peep from any website like Slashdot or The Register, not a word on the ACLU web site.

So lets see a list of these web sites.....

And please stop with english lessons, I didn't care for english back when and don't care for an elitist conspiracy person who serves up BS to give me them now.

What is it with people who are obviously completely ignorant not only willingly opening their mouth and revealing it, but actually getting arrogant about it.

I'll give you a great example of your "prove it". Comcast is wanting to release a pay-model video streaming service. Netflix currently dominates that marketspace. Under this new ruling, Comcast can block Netflix from streaming to Comcast subscribers if they want, or charge Netflix so much that Netflix can't competitively offer the service against Comcast because their overhead is so high.

Are you starting to get a clear picture yet, or do you need a box of crayons?

If you would have taken the time to read the post I was replying to and to this specific sentence:

Like you think Roadrunner is doing, now that you think their basic 10M package denies their users access to many sites on the internet that are available only to their high-priced clients.

Maybe you just need stronger reading glasses AND understand what someone posts. I have RR and have their Basic package and want to see this list of blocked web sites that only RR Premium users are allowed to access.

Yup, that's me, an illiterate ignorant computer user. Started in the computer field in 1972 or 73, supported hardware, OS, network and applications. Retired last year due to a heart attack. Worked for Redactron, Burroughs, Unisys and finally the Federal Judiciary in IT.

BTW, still waiting for that list of web sites that only RR Premium customers receive.......

The Republicans and the corporations want to change the rules, so they can. Then, they'll be able to block access to popular websites, unless you pay for the high-priced tiers.

That's what the debate is about.

So sprouting more hot air and socialist fantasies in other words...
